Everyone.
But who is going slightly mad?
Tabasco: I don't know. The question just popped into my head and I figured it was probably part of a lyric, but I don't particularly recognize the name "Pillar." Then again, I know nothing about most music I've listened to. I guess my question was generic enough that it could have come from anywhere...

Well it is a long story, it all started with a giraffe that escaped from the zoo, well he freed his friends and the started a gang, they began to start some naughtiness and before long they had vandalized the whole town. The rhino that had escaped knocked into a tree in a rampage because he could not get the jelly off of his cheek from the english muffin he had eaten that morning. the tree fell onto the pwer lines that runs the servers for the CPA, so this morning after everything was cleaned up and the servers are back up we can post again.

236 Years? 
How much would a half a pound of Uranium-236 weigh after 3 half-lives?

236 is the atomic mass (protons + neutrons), BigBlue (uranuim comes in 234, 235 and 236 is the rare isotope used in nuclear reactions)
a 1/2 pound of Uranium-236 would weigh 1/16 of a pound (or an ounce) after 3 half lives
1/2*1/2=1/4
1/4*1/2=1/8
1/8*1/2=1/16
Fission or Fusion?

Fission, Uranium can't be fused.
What element is unable to be split or fused?

That seems like a trick question. Everything up to iron fuses given the right conditions (which tend to be very extreme). But I think you can theoretically break any nucleus (except hydrogen) up into smaller particles if you throw enough energy at it. That would leave no element immune to both.
And how do we define an element being fused, anyway?

Well, let's say "fusable"... because you can fuse two Hydrogen atoms and get helium... but you can't fuse anything beyond Iron (including Iron)... At least not according to my college physics prof... but he was more into astronomy, so he could have been wrong... He also said you can't split iron or below...... It all made sense to me at the time... and was nice and elegant, which I like...
Can anyone confirm or rebut this with evidence either way?
